Could this be the latest in Drive-Thru services?

Last week I made shortbread biscuits in my traditional baking class; I think we'll be eating the biscuits for another week or so, there were rather a lot. I tuck into the occasional one. I also made a roll of shortbread dough to cut into thick rounds, known as 'Highlanders' or 'medallions'. There was no time to prepare and cook them, so the shortbread dough roll is still in the fridge, here at home. There's no point in cooking more biscuits for another few days, at least.

This week is week five and it's a cake making evening. I think on balance, with so many biscuits to eat up and more waiting to be baked, I'll give the class a miss. That should make room for whatever we make in the final class in week six. A traditional baking tea party is planned. It means that in all likelihood, we'll be producing dropped scones, baked scones and probably some type of pancake.

I won't produce anymore Aberdeen Rowies, or butteries, as they are locally known. This is an ideal kids cookery item (but only well supervised though with lots of space) as the mess and the squidge is something to feel and behold. It beats playdough and wet sand.
